Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to probe and manufacture method thereof, and relate more specifically to have the probe and the manufacture method thereof of small pitch, utilize described probe to make a kind of detecting card, it is corresponding to the setting of the pad that forms with intensive shape or other different shape on wafer.
Background technology
Usually, conductor integrated circuit device when making described device, make after the described device or obtain testing when encapsulating described device whether made under the situation corresponding to the original design of described device fully so that verify described device in the electrical characteristics in whole or in part of described device.
The equipment that is used to carry out above-mentioned test is the detecting devices with testing equipment and detecting card (probe card).The various signals of telecommunication that described detecting card is used for being electrically connected in the described testing equipment take place partly and the pad (pad) in the described conductor integrated circuit device, or the pad in part of the electrical signal detection in the described testing equipment and the described conductor integrated circuit device.
One of conventional detecting card is a pin type detecting card shown in Figure 1.Described pin type detecting card comprises that each has the needle probe of curved end (probe) 12.The main body of each needle probe 12 (body) is arranged on the assigned position of fixed part 13, and is fixedly attached to fixed part 13 by means of epoxy resin then.Fixed part 13 is attached to main circuit board 11.The other end of needle probe 12 is by means of the allocated circuit that is solder-connected to main circuit board 11.By this way, described detecting card is prepared.Elasticity of demand is so that stably be connected to pin the pad of described conductor integrated circuit device.But, when it is repeated to use, the level of described needle probe and position distortions.Therefore, the defective that described conventional needle type detecting card is had is, when using described pin type detecting card, needs the described probe of maintenance and repair.
Another kind of conventional detecting card is the vertical-type detecting card shown in Fig. 2.Upper surface at main circuit board 21 is provided with fixed head 23, and is provided with a plurality of guide plates 24 at the lower surface of main circuit board 21.Formed a plurality of through holes by main circuit board 21, fixed head 23 and guide plate 24, described through hole is arranged on the correspondence position of main circuit board 21, fixed head 23 and guide plate 24 regularly.Inserted needle probe 22 respectively by through hole.The end of the described needle probe that takes out from fixed head 23 is connected respectively to the allocated circuit of main circuit board 21 by means of welding.By this way, described detecting card is prepared.But described vertical-type detecting card is defectiveness also, promptly when it is reused, and the level distortion of described probe, and therefore lose its elasticity, as above-mentioned needle probe.In addition, another defective that described vertical-type detecting card is had is that long and adjacent one another are setting the owing to described pin is when described detecting card is used for testing the semiconductor integrated circuit of high speed operation type, cause the electricity between the adjacent needles to interact, and therefore reduce the precision of described test.
Any one of described pin type detecting card and vertical-type detecting card all has relative big size.On the other hand, along with development of technology, element to be tested become miniaturization day by day and precision.Therefore, any one defective that all has of described pin type detecting card and vertical-type detecting card is, can not appropriately test miniaturization and accurate element.In other words, but do not have all elements on the big relatively detecting card testing wafer, this is because the setting of a plurality of pads on the formed element is compact and intensive on the described wafer.As a result, need carry out several tests to a wafer.
In order to overcome the problems referred to above, invented the detecting card of compactness and miniaturization.The representative example of the detecting card of this compactness and miniaturization is Micro Spring Type detecting card and cantilever style detecting card.
Described Micro Spring Type detecting card is shown in Fig. 3 a, and described Micro Spring Type detecting card such as following manufacturing: projection (bump) 33 is formed on the substrate 32, as shown in Fig. 3 b.Line 34a by means of line binding element (wire bonder) shape of will popping one's head in is connected to projection 33.Line 34a is plated so that line 34a is thick and firm on its surface.Additional silicon wafer 35 is etched, and is plated then, to form brace summer 34b and the sharp 34c of probe.Brace summer 34b joins line 34a to so that form the spring type probe 34 with probe point 34.After forming spring type probe 34 as previously discussed, silicon wafer 35 is removed.As shown in Fig. 3 a, the substrate 32 that will have above-mentioned structure by means of additional strengthening part 36 is attached to main circuit board 31.
Described cantilever style detecting card is shown in Fig. 4 a, and described cantilever style detecting card such as following manufacturing: projection 43 is formed on the substrate 42, as shown in Fig. 4 b.On additional silicon wafer 44, form sharp 45b of probe and brace summer 45a.Subsequently, a termination of projection 43 is incorporated into the end of brace summer 45a, has the probe 45 of the sharp 45b of probe with formation.After forming described probe as previously discussed, silicon wafer 44 is removed.Shown in Fig. 4 a, the substrate 42 that will have above-mentioned structure by means of additional strengthening part 46 is attached to main circuit board 41.
By means of described Micro Spring Type detecting card and cantilever style detecting card, the test of the wafer of the integrated component of formation is able to smooth execution to having thereon.
But described probe beam and probe point flush each other (level) (34b among Fig. 3 b and 34c, 45a among Fig. 4 b and 45b) are set.When the pad on the element to be tested is more closely assembled, and when the pad on the element is provided with complexity, caused problem.For example, when the cantilever style detecting card shown in Fig. 4 a is used to test the wafer of the setting with the element 51 as shown in Fig. 5 a, cantilever style detecting card as described in need as shown in Fig. 5 b, constructing.Particularly, need all probe 61a are arranged on the cell substrate 61 (Fig. 5 b) that has corresponding to the detecting card 60 (Fig. 5 b) of the size of component size, (Fig. 5 a) so that test all pad 51a on each element.But when probe was set along the limit, it was impossible at the turning probe being set.Thereby, in this case, some probes are arranged on the adjacent cell substrate 61.Therefore, need to carry out twice or more times test to described wafer.
Under the situation that the pad on the wafer to be tested is provided with straight line, described cantilever style detecting card has the setting as shown in Fig. 6 a and 6b.Pitch P shown in Fig. 6 a is corresponding to the distance between two adjacent pads on the described wafer.Understand easily, described pitch P is greater than the width w of each probe 65.Therefore when the distance between the pad on the described wafer when popping one's head in 65 width w, can not carry out described test fast.
In conventional detecting card as previously discussed, the increase of probe number is limited.Therefore, it is impossible once testing a plurality of semiconductor devices, and this can not satisfy the semiconductor device producer's who attempts to increase testing efficiency needs.
